Logan D. Hurricanes Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 Merry Christmas from Florida! Cape Coral's Festival of Lights was Saturday, and some people said instead of it being a lighthearted night filled with entertainment and visits with Santa Claus, some children were left in tears. http://www.nbc-2.com/story/39581962/man-ruins-festival-of-lights-tells-kids-santa-isnt-real ?

Cancer Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 Yeah, but it is a few lost SAN points that you might need to make it to December 27. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 I survived One Day at a Time by Lena Martell, Achy Breaky Heart by Cyrus Snr, The St Winnifrids School Choir, Wannabe by the Spice Girls, The Birdy Song and Saturday Might by Whigfield. This is nothing. It is not good but if you want bad. Try this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone should have whipped up a big sign that read "THIS MAN IS THE GRINCH" and sung at the top of their lungs, "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch." Some kids probably would have joined in.

Should have done like me. When I found/figured out that Santa wasn't real, I didn't let my parents know, I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hopcroft Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Mom invited me for Christmas dinner at her "retirement community" (actually rent-supported apartments -- but she loves it there) and I accepted. We're going to do the family holiday party either on Boxing Day or a little after that. We've already exchanged our gifts -- Mom gets a copy of the original Going in Style with George Burns, Art Carney, and Lee Strasberg. My present was shirts from Burlington Coat Factory, which I got to select. wcw43921 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ternaugh Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 My brain reworked one of the Christmas songs today as I was walking through the casino. "It's beginning to look a lot like Easter, everywhere you go!" I figure it means that I'm either burned out on Christmas songs already, or I've read too much about global warming lately.

Michael Hopcroft Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 "It's beginning to look a lot like Mongols...." But who am I to talk? I'm one of those people who actually enjoys the "tradition" of having a Yule Log on my TV playing in the background while I do stuff. My family also listened to Stan Freberg's classic satire "Green Christmas" (Freberg took a lot of flak for it from the advertising industry -- in which he worked alongside recording and voice acting -- and its airplay was severely limited by stations that didn't want to offend them. And the sketch danced around the notion that maybe some of the people in the room weren't actually Christians). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hopcroft Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Speaking of which, this Mariah Carey Christmas song (not, not that one) is especially sad. My understanding is that this is the lament of a war widow whose husband is never coming home. There's a reason so many of the great Christmas songs came out of World War II. "Home for Christmas" seems to be the universal desire of soldiers, especially married ones. Meanwhile, wives back home live with the knowledge that at any moment they could become a widow and have to spend their Christmases alone for a very long time. Today, of course, the scale is smaller (because the war is smaller) but the fear and the wish is still there. It will be there as long as we keep fighting wars.

Ternaugh Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 I cannot adequately describe my dislike of “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” by anyone other than Bing Crosby. I have heard 8 different renditions of it so far this year, and all of them sucked. Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
